1967 Alfa Romeo Gt Junior 1300.Photo updates on pg 6!

Happy new year everyone! I realized I haven't posted since summer, here are a few pictures of the ever so slow progress I made in 2022.

We added Dynamat insulation to the interior, then added cavity wax in the sills. We also took apart cleaned and painted the rear axle. The pinion and CROWN gears looked great so we left them alone but we rebuilt the calipers with new pistons and seals. We Started wiring the easy end of the car (the tail lights) to check the condition of the wiring harness

I couldn't resist trying a rims just to see what it looks like in place, I never had suspension on this car since I owned it !

Thanks, we filmed these bits but we haven't started editing the next video,time is a bit tight at the moment but we'll try to put it together soon. In the mean time I started making a list of parts needed for the front suspension

This tread makes me miss my Guilia 2000 GTV rather a lot but this picture reminds me of my 2000 Berlina which was an absolutely awesome car



Those holes on the floor - On the way to work one day along Barnet lane A441 coming into Borehamwood around Woodcock hill, which I was later to find out was a UK sprint hillclimb venue at one point, It had been raining and there was a rather deep puddle at the base of the hill. The carpet was out of the car and I had newspaper on the floor, quite a lot of it. When the ol' Berlina hit the puddle a solid column of water came up through that hole - no bung as I had been chasing rust - punching a perfect circle in the newspaper, up through the spokes of the steering wheel hitting be straight in the face. The car made it through the water and up the hill without breaking a sweat but I was soaked through when I arrived at work.

The 1750 was always written about in the press as the sweetest of the Nords, being more willing and less harsh than the 2.0L. I had the 1.8 in an '86 75 and it was a really nice engine.

The step-front is the best of the 105 Coupes and yours is beautiful

It's strange as my car had Ate calipers but the front caliper bracket is a separate piece with 4 equally sized holes. I noticed later cars have 2 smaller hole to mount the backing plate and the caliper bracket is in one piece with the upright.

It didn't have backing plates on the original old uprights but there was a set of later backing plates supplied with the car so I enlarged the small holes to make them fit, however the disc is rubbing against the backing plate. I will remove them for now and see if I can find an old set or trim the later ones a bit more
